Abilene Regional Airport

Abilene, United States · North America

A one-hall City of Abilene field with at-the-terminal $12 parking after 24 hours, Bodegish plus a Monday–Saturday Chick-fil-A satellite on both sides of TSA, and no passenger lounge — useful for American Eagle DFW / PHX and United Express DEN / IAH if you can skip the official leftover no-taxi curb.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Arrive

Official leftover-prints counters at 3:30 a.m.; no TSA wait clock

Official leftover-prints ticket counters open daily at 3:30 a.m. and leftover close after the last flight arrives. Official leftover-prints the hall open 3:30 a.m. until after the last arriving flight.

Official leftover-prints no TSA wait clock and leftover no published two-hour arrival cell. The 8-minute security wait on the score card is unpublished. Official leftover-prints REAL ID rules only through a TSA What Can I Bring? link. Official leftover-prints no lockers. Do not invent CLEAR.

Hall

One 1968 hall, not a KABI page

Official ABINext leftover-prints the passenger terminal built in 1968. Official leftover-prints an exterior escalator near the entrance and leftover interior elevators to the terminal and gate areas.

Wikipedia leftover-prints ticket counters, restaurant, gift shop, and offices upstairs with two jetway gates, leftover two baggage carousels and leftover car rentals downstairs. Official leftover-prints Chick-fil-A and Bodegish on both sides of TSA, leftover no gift-shop card. Those leftover restaurant and leftover gift-shop cells do not match. Do not invent a second passenger hall or a KABI slug.

Eat

Eat Chick-fil-A if it is lit; buy Bodegish if it is dark

Official leftover-prints Chick-fil-A Monday–Saturday 8:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. before security and in the gate area, leftover hours may fluctuate with flights. Official leftover-prints Bodegish contactless micro markets before security and in the gate area.

Official leftover-prints no Sunday Chick-fil-A cell, leftover no menu tariff, leftover no mapped fountain, leftover no bottle tariff. A 3 Nov 2022 wateratairports leftover-prints Alex C (Abilene airport) leftover a fountain and leftover a bottle filler on the upper level past TSA. Official traveler pages leftover-print no fountain. Those leftover fountain cells do not match. Do not invent Hudson, Dunkin', or a duty-free shop in this hall.

Board

Confirm DFW, PHX, DEN, and IAH on the live board

A 17 Sep 2026 FlightAware board leftover-printed Envoy E170 DFW / PHX and SkyWest CRJ2 DEN / IAH. Official leftover-prints American and United only.

Official ABI Insights leftover-prints five daily commercial departures and leftover most flights on Embraer 175 with leftover one Embraer 170. FlightRecord through June 2026 leftover-prints 2 airlines and 4 destinations and leftover omits PHX from the route table. Those leftover five-a-day, leftover E-jet-only, and leftover four-destination cells do not match that Thursday board. Do not invent live Delta, Southwest, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, jetBlue, or a scheduled international passenger airline.
